A prayer room is now available for Muslim tourists at Avenuel's World Tower Branch of Lotte Department Store in Jamsil, southeastern Seoul, reflecting the growing trend among businesses in Korea to attract more Muslim tourists here.

The 49.6-square-meter room consists of three parts. At the center is a tub where visitors may wash their feet, a ritual to cleanse the body before praying.

Copies of the Quran, the central religious text of Islam, and prayer rugs for the room were placed on a shelf in front of the tub. The room is further divided into two prayer rooms ― the left for men and the right for women.
